The Master's Charity of the Year - Silent Auction
The Silent Auction in aid of the inaugural Master’s Charity of the Year is now live
We proudly announce the winner of the inaugural Master’s Charity of the Year, The Salmon Youth Centre. The aims of the organisation, voted for by Livery members, are aligned with the mission of The Distillers’ Charity to transform the lives of young people.
This Silent Auction allows you to bid for some truly fabulous experiences and all money raised will support The Salmon Youth Centre.
There are 15 great lots on which to bid, and our grateful thanks go to fellow Liverymen, friends, and supporters from the industry who have kindly donated these items to make this possible.
The Salmon Youth Centre has been reaching out to young people in Bermondsey for over a hundred years. The Centre welcomes around 500 young people between six and 25 years old each week from all backgrounds, such as care leavers, youth ex-offenders, disabled young people and other at-risk groups. Promoting positive change and supporting their transition to adulthood, the Centre’s approach is to build long-term relationships with the young people engaged through regular social interaction, aiming to inspire them to reach their potential and contribute positively to the community.

Time to get bidding and thank you for your support!
